Hi San Francisco (and greater bay area) smarties!
For the active members here at SCOA, you may be wondering what became of the NorCal forum, well, here it is! We just renamed it to Smart Owners Club of San Francisco (or SOCSF) since that was the name of the region's most active club.
Now SOCSF has joined forces with the national news and information portal SCOA - Smart Car of America - which has you may have noticed is setting up regional forums for smart enthusiasts' clubs across the country (yay!)
Our club was chosen as one of the "pilot" clubs, and we look forward to the benefits a larger audience can provide us. This will also take some of the load off of me as far as maintaining and moderating the forum, so I can focus on getting more events, drives, and sponsorships for us.
I encourage everyone in our area to continue to be active in this forum, it is *your* club as much as it is *our* club -- let's help keep the monthly meet-n-greet events going, coordinate drives with with the local MBCA chapter (and our own exclusive drives, of course!)
Please share your ideas, comments, etc. to me (starlord) or the site admin here (SMART) and let us know how we're doing so far, and what we could be doing better. We value the input ;)
Well, off to a great start with the regional stuff! Soon we'll have our postcards and t-shirts printed, the designs will be posted here as well passed out to member events.
More news coming soon, thanks to everyone who joined up on socsf.com or the forum previously, please do register here on the smart car of america site if you haven't done so already

-- forum registration is free, and if you join the national SCOA club, that money only goes to help keep the website (including this forum) up and running.
Cheers!
